If you've ever felt short-changed after buying an avocado only to discover it's 99% stone once you've cut it open, your luck is about to change with Tesco's latest product.
This week, a truly monster version of the avocado – aptly named the AVOZILLA – will be returning to Scotland's supermarket shelves.
Coming in at a whopping ten times the regular size of an avocado, the naturally giant-sized fruit weighs in at 1.5kg and can serve up to ten people.
On sale from Friday 27 August, and available exclusively at Tesco, the extremely rare variety is grown from just a few trees in South Africa, and is available for only a few weeks each year.
Tesco have reported that the last batch it imported in 2020 sold out in less than a week so you'll need to be quick off the mark to get your hands on one.
The AVOZILLA comes in at a retail price of just £4, meaning it can feed a group for just 40p per head.
Great for entertaining, the AVOZILLA is perfect for hosts looking to make a party size portion of guacamole as those catering would only need to remove the skin of one fruit.
Customers can also satisfy their breakfast cravings with enough avocado on toast to serve the whole family for a few days.
Tesco chilled salad and avocado buyer (what a job!), Katalin Varnai, said: “Back by popular demand, the AVOZILLA is guaranteed to keep people talking year after year.
“The natural monster fruit is extremely rare and comes from just a relatively small number of trees grown by one of the world’s biggest suppliers of avocados in South Africa.
“We know how much the UK likes avocados, so we consider ourselves extremely lucky to be able to offer this treat to our customers. We can’t wait to see what deliciously green creations our nation of avocado lovers will rustle up!”
